After years of a drought, and now a year or so of constant rain and more roof and window leaks than one family should have to endure, construction started today on fixing our deck and our screened-in porch. The deck is falling down the hill - so we thought we'd stop that. The screen-in porch was great in theory, but it stays soaked and is a moldy pit of nastiness. That being said, the cats love it and will miss it. We will keep you up to date on our progress through pictures. And, of course, here are some new shots of Lily. 10 months old this week.
